Since when have intentions counted for anything? Conlangs around the globe will now use |µ| for /N/, and we can all look back and blame you. :) Personally, I must say that even in environments where I have access to the full Unicode range, I don't like to use eng in a Latin transcription system; I find it aesthetically unappealing. -Marcos
